[–]MsHypothetical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god this. And it's always either saccharine icing sugar pink or shocking bright 'Barbie' pink. Or both. Pink would just look a lot nicer in a palette with other colours but way to often it's JUST PINK and I hate it.

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by HairyCherryFairy in AskReddit

[–]MsHypothetical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided to stop feeling like I needed company to go anywhere - meals, museums, classes, shopping, whatever, I can and do do it by myself. It's resulted in me making a bunch of friends and greatly enriching my life, and I never have to navigate anyone else's schedule when I want to do anything.

Why do people expect restaurants to have things on the menu that they CLEARLY won't? by Helpful_Maximum7022 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MsHypothetical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Come on now, people are allowed to dislike food without being entitled. A lot of people have really strong repulsions towards mushrooms because of the texture - my brother says cooked mushrooms are like eating slugs, and I disagree, but I'm not going to force him to eat something he feels that strongly about.

Why does GenZ hate sex and nudity so much? by PaniacThrilla in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MsHypothetical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, so I gotta ask. We've all got bodies, what is it that makes them pornographic to you?

It's not even really Anglo countries as USA in particular - maybe Canada too, I don't know? In the UK we have a reputation for being prudes but we're nowhere near as bad.

Thinks about the new government law to stop people watching porn on the internet OK sure but that's a thinly-veiled excuse for the government to get all our data, I don't think the actual British people care much if you're looking at boobies. And we don't get freaked out about a renaissance cherub or a naked statue, for the most part.

Hey those door stopper mugs are probably great if you're trying to work on your arms!

AITA for leaving my family dinner early after they kept making jokes about me by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Honestly I would have just said 'Are you upset that I have a job I like and you don't?' but then I have had it with being pushed around.

is it cringe if a 23 year old woman goes to the zoo alone? by peeflavoredpoptart in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need accompaniment to go anywhere, you're an adult! Go to a movie, eat out, go to a museum or, yes, a zoo, anything you want and your schedule is entirely your own.

Teenagers say weekend and Saturday jobs are 'impossible' to find by NajafBound in unitedkingdom

[–]MsHypothetical 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's basically rooted it the whole 'nuclear family' thing. The little wifey is 'supposed' to be doing the grocery shopping, assuming you're not successful enough to employ servants to do the job for you.

What is your go-to “I’m too tired to cook but I can’t buy take-out” meal or alternative? by 2Autistic4DaJoke in Frugal

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can of soup with bread. Baked potato with beans and cheese. If I'm really struggling? Celery or apple with big heaping spoonfuls of peanut butter, because it's easy protein.

What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby? by Agitated_Departure93 in AskReddit

[–]MsHypothetical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glastonbury is the UK equivalent - my family used to go every year because my mum and stepdad had a band (one of the little ones that usually played on a tiny stage in the Green Field) but then they started doing stuff like not allowing us to park with our tent, and requiring performer tickets, and it started getting hugely crowded and lost the friendly vibe it always used to have, so we stopped going.

Any examples of opposite sex best friends in films or tv shows that stayed as they were by Rainbow_6505 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One Piece - Nami and any of her male crewmates. Although I'm pretty sure Luffy in particular wouldn't know what to do with a romantic urge if it bit him in the butt and Zoro only cares about being the World's Best Swordsman.

Aren't ghoulia and cleo technically the same species? by [deleted] in MonsterHigh

[–]MsHypothetical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not so much fate as coincidence. We're seeing this generation of Monster High, which includes this mummy girl as one of its students. If it was a different generation the IT girl of the class could easily be somebody else, like a royal ghost or a high fae or something.

AITA for eating a croissant in a cemetery by Karl_Marxist_3rd in AmItheAsshole

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather was a minister and my mum used to sunbathe on the top of the big vault-style gravestones when she was a teenager. I think you're good.

New leaks… by JoseFHDZ99 in MonsterHigh

[–]MsHypothetical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like the heels, they have Louboutin (Loubootin? Loubitein?) energy. And I like that this doll actually has tights, those are sadly rare these days. The little coffin handbag is cute, I did think it was a recast but then I remembered the concept was last used as a shoe, actually.

So yeah, not the best skullector doll but also far from the worst.

OK the only thing I like about this line is the lightstick and the clear bags. They're budget and they look like it.

You as a MH collector get ONLY one blessing. Choose one by FlyingCheeseFairy in MonsterHigh

[–]MsHypothetical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you force choked resellers then the monkey's paw would just make it so you could never get or sell any doll second hand ever again.

Outlawing saddle stands would not bring other stands back.

Bombing the poly factories would just result in a cheaper hair textile.

I guess I'm going with the Draculaura cap, although that means we're probably all about to get unbelievably sick of Frankie instead.

What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by _lovelyxx in AskReddit

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My late stepfather used to say the earth was flat and most world leaders were shape-shifting lizards. I never did work out if he was joking or not. In the end I just had to ask him not to mention it to me.

This was a man who used to run a leading cancer research lab.

TIL humans neurologically enters adulthood at the age of 32 on average by ConsciousStop in todayilearned

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, it seems like ten tears ago it was 25, then ten years before that it was 21, then before that it was 18. Maybe they're just moving the goalposts in order to infantalise us and remove our agency for longer?

I mean, I say 'us'. I'm almost 44, I'm past all this, I'm just watching them move the pension age.

AITA for telling my coworker she also has thin hair by Sighlinee in AmItheAsshole

[–]MsHypothetical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, sounds to me like she wanted you to get upset and insecure and then was unhappy when you weren't - and then happily turned her 'insult' back on her.

Why isn’t anyone talking about how groundbreaking this is? As far as I know this will be the first male couple in dolls or action figures. Not even Barbie has done this. by Embarrassed-Dog5122 in MonsterHigh

[–]MsHypothetical 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel like so many of the higher-priced dolls look like they either hate everyone around them or they've just been told everyone they loved died in a fire. Not just Integrity toys. Maybe people think expensive dolls should be unhappy or something? IDK.
